Subject: RE: hunting protest songs
I think you could class The Granemore Hare as an anti-hunting song.

As someone who has spent a lot of time "sabbing", believe me, when confronted by the violent thugs who call themselves "hunt followers", there's not a lot of time for singing. I've also been involved in trying to stop dog fighting and badger baiting, which are also the pastimes of One time groom's "working classes" but I know of at least one hunt master who was also involved. So being a sick, blood-thirsty moron doesn't just stop with slaughtering foxes.
